Two cultures getting married,
two families with their own picture.
Two families, two pictures of the day
Your mother has pictured this day for years. So has your partner's family, and their picture looks completely different. You stand in the middle and above all you want nobody to feel passed over.
Parents who cannot follow the ceremony
The ceremony is in one language and your parents speak another. You want them to feel every word and never feel left out.
I have a way of working for both. It starts with the Tradition Map.
You choose which traditions stay.
I weave them together.
You choose the traditions that feel like you. I weave them into one day.
In De Bron, our first in-depth session, each of you creates a Tradition Map with three layers.
Sacred
This has to be there, for us or for our family.
Nice to have
Lovely if it fits.
Let go
We do not need this one.
Then I put your maps side by side and show you where your traditions meet. From there I build the timeline. That way you can show your families exactly how you chose.
A bilingual ceremony
and one timeline.
A ceremony in two languages
A bilingual ceremony and a ceremony booklet that explains every tradition. Everyone follows what happens and why, from grandma to the colleague from work.
Two ceremonies in one timeline
If your traditions do not fit into one ceremony, we spread them over the day or over several days. I create one timeline where both worlds have their own place.
Combining traditions:
your questions.
Can we combine traditions from two cultures in one ceremony?
Yes. In De Bron we create your Tradition Map together and decide what is sacred. Then I build one ceremony where both cultures have their own moment.
Do we need two separate ceremonies?
Not necessarily. Sometimes traditions fit into one ceremony, sometimes it is more beautiful to spread them over the day or over two days. I create one timeline for everything.
How can guests who do not speak the language follow the ceremony?
With a ceremony booklet that explains every tradition and a ceremony in two languages. In the seating plan I keep in mind who speaks which language. Translation costs are not included in the packages.
What if our families disagree about traditions?
I stand as a neutral party between you and your family. Together you decide what is sacred. I help you explain that to your family and give their traditions a place wherever possible.
